First time here part 2

Hi everyone,
Another weekend in the books. I managed to pull myself up today and do some serious GAL. Even had some people over to christen the backyard pool- yes it's hot enough here to swim!
Someone sent me this poem today by Rumi-and I wanted to share.

The Guest House
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
Meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
